WILLIAM A. DRIGANS CHAIRMAN BOARD OF APPEAL5 v Page 3 The Minutes of the Board of Ap�eals Subcom�nittee Meetinq of June 10, 1975 Chairman Dr9gans asked if he talked to his neighbors regarding his intentions. 7here were no objec�tions. Chairman Drigans asked why Mr. P4iller had only h1r. Schroeder sign the release. Mr. Mattson replied that would be the property they wiould be encroaching on. It is the concern of the neignbor closest to the structure that is proposed that is affected by ±his matter. Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Miller if he intended to use his existing garage as a workshop and he answered, yes. Discussion follo�ed as to location of front door and driveway. MOTION by Premel, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to close public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Plemel stated that if one neighbor objected, he would have some second thoughts on this variance. Mrs. Gabel stated that she wasn't sure that she would approve this variance in an area where all of the houses were placed back so far. Chairman Drigans stated that he wants a double garage and he has no other place to put it but in the front yard. He would go along with the request as long as P�r. Miller uses his existing garage as a hobby shop and not as a form of e�ployment or for commercial purposes. Also it should be covered with the same material as his house. MOTION by Premel, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, to grant the varian.ce in this case from 67' to 31 feet to allow construction of an addition to garage and a breezeway, with the stipulation that the garage be of the same material as that of the house and to have it blend in as well as possible. Chairman Drigans specified that it is the requirement of the City Code ta have the driveway hard-surfaced. 3. A REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE AS FOLLOWS: SEC. 205.Ob3, 4A, TO REDUCE THE AVERAGE FRONT YARb SETBACK FROM 35 FEET TO 20.5 FEET, SECTION 205.065, 2, TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF THREE STALLS TO TWO STALLS, ALL TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION GF TEN DOUBLE GARAGES Tfl 8E LOCATED AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS: LOTS 1], 72, 74, 15. 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 , 22, BLOCK 2, NAGEL'S WOODLANDS ADDITION, THE AME BEI 379-738 BLE STR -7367 � BLE S7REET N.E. 7447- 7349-7351, 7325-7327, UEST BY PORTFOLIO REA -7419. 7401-7 7301-7303 RATED, MOTION by Chairman Drigans, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to waive reading the public hearing notice. Upon a voice vote, there being na nays, the motion carried. Page 4 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee rdzetin of June 10, 1975 MOTION by Drigan� seconded by Plemel, to open public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Brad Johnson, representing Portfolio Realty Company was present to present his request. Ne stated thzre were no single family dwel7ings on this street, that they were ali double bungalows. The reason for requesting these variances was that they feit it would be a tremendous improve�ent to the property. At the present time, there is no place to park and aisa no place for garbage or storage. It is rentai property at the present time. He also stated that most tenants have t4�o cars, and the ordinance requires three stalls, which would diminish space far tenants and would cause an increase in rentals. Also, ihis wou7d eliminate the tenants parking on the street. If we conform to your requirements, we have to stay all the way back and be only five feet from the house, thus further disrupting the backyard area. By setting the garages back 20 1/2 feet, we increase the backyard area and also allow for a sidewalk should the city decide one is needed. Mr. Premel asked what was behind these bunga7ows. A Mobile Homes Court. Mr. Johnson stated that if they were permitted to construct 2 1/2 car garages (22 x 22'), with separate stalls, they could reduce the cost difference. The cost of each garage will run about $3,000. The � project wou7d run them about $50,0�0 or $60,000. He said there were many nice homes across the street. There was discussion about the blacktop. Mr. Johnson this was to provide additional off-s�reet parking and clean-up and landscaping of the whole back yard. stated that was part of the A Mr. Donald Sjurseth of 7440 Ab7e Street�stated that he and several other members were �here because the public hearing notice said some- thing about a front yard setback. This caused them to think that the yarageswere going to be built in the front yard. He said that they now understand that because of the two streets both the front and the back yard have to be considered as front yards. With this explanation, they had no other objections. Mr. Ralph Klingl of 7364 Able Street N.E., stated that he had one of the better homes there and anything they could do to improve the situation, he would be all for i� and for the neighborhood. We hope this wi17 bring in a better cliental into the neighborhood. He also not�ced much improvement within the last few months. Chairman Drigans asked if there were any other questions. There were none.� He then asked Mr. Mattson if the staff'had anything further to add. Mr. Mattson stated that the plans Mr. Johnson has described seemed to be quite adequate and certainly an improvement. The staff was mainly concerned about upgrading the landscaping. What Mr. Johnson has proposed seems quite adequate. Page 5 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meetinq of June 10, 1975 - Mr. Drigans stated that he was concerned about the narrow 6 foot space between these garages. He feit that these might end up being refuse areas. There was some discussion regarding increasing the sideyard setback to five feet ivhich would provide 10 feet between the garages. Mr. Johnson replied that this was a possibility otherwise he could probably put a fence between them. MOTIQN by Plemel, seconded by Mr. Kemper, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, mot�on carried. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to recommend to the Council, approval to reduce the average front yard setback from 35 feet to 20.5 feet and to reduce the number of 3 stalls to 2 stalls to allow the construction of ten double garages.
